Does 2,4-D cause cancer in people?

Worldwide, no pesticide regulatory agency classifies 2,4-D as a human or animal carcinogen.

Over 75 years of ongoing research have conclusively shown that the weight of evidence finds no correlation between 2,4-D and cancer.

Homeowners should continue to use herbicides in accordance with label directions and restrict access during and immediately following the application of products containing 2,4 D to maximize its efficiency and limit potential exposure.
